I'm playing Our Worst Fears: Stained Skin and I'm wondering what the logic is behind the card puzzle. Big Fish has a ***walkthrough*** that shows the answer in this screenshot

but I don't understand how the order of the cards was arrived at. If you're supposed to use the text as clues, wouldn't the last 3 cards be the 3, 5, and ace instead of the 5, ace and king?

Did you look at this walkthrough too?

It shows a three, a five, and an ace.

Yes, that solution at Gamezebo seems to work, while the one at Big Fish doesn't.
I just don't know why it works.
The arrangement of the words above is the same.

In any case, if the words "My" and "women" are queens, how do you know which is the queen to use in which spot? Also are senior" and "father" supposed to refer to kings and "young friend" and "son" to jacks? Are you supposed to experiment with possibilities? I guess that would be 6 possibilities, which isn't too many.

Maybe the answer can be random, but the solution pictured at Big Fish shows the same word order as mine and the one at Gamezebo. Can the solution be random with a different word order -- and the screenshot at Big Fish taken during a different playthrough? Because if the word order is the same, I'm not seeing why the last three cards could be anything other than 3, 5, and ace for "to turn 35, already being an ace of his trade."
